Should I opt for a minor degree in CSE or IT? I am an ECE major student at NIT Jalandhar.

Every opportunity has its pros and cons both. Similarly, opting for a minor degree in CSE being an ECE major at NIT Jalandhar is both beneficial and difficult. It will increase your academic load. It may or may not help you get better placements. 

My personal suggestion would be to give up on a minor degree in CSE and rather pursue additional courses like

• Machine Learning/Networking(CCNA)

• Cloud Computing(GCP/AWS) 

• Competitive Coding

These skills will add value to your CV and pay you back tenfold rather than the CSE minor degree.
